Here I am in this cafe again. I looked around me but I didn't find the one I was looking for.

I took a seat at one of the table waiting for him.

Few minutes later

The man walked into the shop then ordered his usual coffee, Caffe Latte with extra two shots without sugar.

He then took his drink and sat on the table far from mine.

I watched him while sipping on my coffee I bought earlier. Worried that he might feel uncomfortable, I shifted my gaze to my bag. Then I took out my notebook and began drawing there.

Usually I would bring my work or assignment here but today I don't have any work to do so I decided to draw.

Then I lost myself in my drawing not awaring of my surrounding. Not awaring the man I was waiting for earlier...

Suddenly, I remembered the reason why I came. Snapping out of my drawing, I looked around me to see if the man is still there.

To my disappointment the man was gone already.

Sighing, I went back to finish my drawing then packed my things and went home.

……………………

If you're wondering who is that guy and why I was waiting that guy.

The answer is I don't know either.

I have been going to that cafe since my freshman year. Usually I would go the cafe to buy some coffee so that I could be alive to work on my assignment. And that continued until now.

But at some point there is a guy that I found caught my attention. At first, I thought he would just pass like any other customers.

However, this guy is different, he comes everyday exactly at 10 in the morning to get his Caffe Latte with extra two shots without sugar.

How did I know that?

Well it was written on his glass, of course I know it.

Usually after getting his coffee he would sit alone enjoying the atmosphere or sometimes he would bring a book with him and read it while drinking his coffee.

I don't know his name and I bet it will stay like that until I graduate from the uni and get a work that is in a different area.

But because of him I have something to look for everyday. Do I like him? I don't know. How do you like someone when you barely know him?

"Hey! Why are you zoning out?" a man snaps at me

Looking at him I smile, "Oh, I just remembered how I used to admire you in this cafe, it was funny!"

He laughed a bit then looked at me
"Well time flies so fast. The guy you used to look from faraway now turned to be your boyfriend"

"If only you didn't spill your coffee to me, we wouldn't even know each other name!" I replied to him

"Well it's funny how fate works huh" he said

"Thanks to the coffee and your hand, boy. However I'm grateful because of that I am in a relationship with you, Hongbin."
